We still have only one rule that restricts other rules, and its restriction does not apply here. STYLE: "by the time I have posted this" is ambiguous; was this rule posted by the time it was posted? We will assume it was not; therefore in order to judge it VALID (as I must) it must have negative style. The only style complaint I can come up with, though, is the multiple misuse of "to" instead of "too", for which one can hardly dock more than 0.2 points. Nice attempt at defamation, too, though proving it false will be difficult. -- - Rich Holmes Syracuse, NY -- Rule Date: 2002-06-01 21:53:14 GMT
